Definition

Supplementation mode for table supplementation

The following values currently exist:

'I' (insert only)

This is the default mode for all tables (except tables that are filled with mode 'S' by default). This mode copies all entries in the supplementation language that do not exist in the language you are supplementing. This fills any gaps in the translation of the supplemented language.

'U' (updates permitted)

This is an extended mode. As well as inserting new entries, it also overwrites existing data of the language you are supplementing with data from the supplementation language.

Use this mode with care, since it overwrites data permanently.

'1' (supplementation combined with RSREFILL)

In this mode, a table is first handled in the same way as with the program RSREFILL, and then supplemented.

'2' (supplementation combined with client maintenance)

In this mode, the table is first handled with the client maintenance procedure and then supplemented.

'S' (special methods)

This mode was used in Releases 4.6C and 4.6D for the ABAP text pool (TEXTPOOL table). This mode is obsolete as of SAP Web Application Server Release 6.10.
